Corpse Party: New Souls

Chapter 15: Epilouge

" She still haunts me to this day," Nagisa whispered, her eyes fixed on the ground. It's been weeks since the incident, but none of us have recovered. Souta had locked himself in his room, finding out what he had done to me. The twins were normal, but Hana was suffering from everything. It seemed like all we've done back there was recovered in our memories. Hana had remembered slicing her best friend's body and placing it somewhere. Akahana had gotten counseling from her sister's death.

Everything was falling apart.

I don't know what happened to that school, but an earthquake had happened before we disappeared. That wasn't the only thing that had happened.

Apparently, anyone who dies there is erased. We tried to tell Haru's father about her death, but he didn't know who she was. Everything about his last daughter was gone from his memory. It was the same with Jun's parents and had thrown us out for making them up.

That morning we went back to school, no one had asked about our deceased friends. They didn't know who they were. The twins and I were in the game room when Ruka grabbed our picture, frowning in confusion. " Guys, everyone else has their face blacked out," she said, showing us the picture.

I quickly took it from her hands and examined the photo. She was right about that. Our friends who had died back there was blacked out of the photo. Ryu started stabbing his lunch with his chopsticks. " Damn it all," he muttered.

" Maybe that's why no one remembers them," I said. " Everything about them is gone."

" And not just our memories," Ruka added. " How can no one remember Haru or Jun? The two were always arguing in homeroom and would cause trouble. Aoi, the prank master and how much she made us laugh. Hana and the others are broken on the inside."

" She still hasn't come out of her room?" I asked.

Ruka sadly shook her head. " That was all too easy. Giving her the tongue and her stuffed cat was too easy."

" Why do I think there is something else," Ryu muttered.

" Maybe there is," I replied. " After all, everything that happened left their minds, but when we came back the memories came along with us, causing the others to be haunted of it. I understand Nagisa and Aoi's case with the deaths, but Hana and Souta had tried or have committed a murder."

" Good thing the police won't come after them," Ryu said. He examined the slash that was healing in the palm of his hand still. The nurse had said it would become a scar later on, along with other deep wounds on his body. Ruka's wasn't as bad as her brother's, but she did have cuts on her body.

I sighed and put my head on the table. " No sleep?" Ruka asked. I shook my head. Even since what happened, I had trouble getting sleep. I've been seeing that girl in my dreams and it would end. I'm starting to think I was haunted now.

" I want this to end," Ryu said. " I want to forget about that girl."

" Maybe she hasn't rested yet," I said aloud, " and her spirit is still walking around in order to torment us."

" Then it's working,"
When the twins looked down at their lunch, I thought for a moment I saw her. That little girl. She was standing at the door, her bangs covering her eyes. She slowly lifted up her head, a wide grin on her face and waved her hand.

"I can see you."
